Farsiight is without question the best agency we've worked with over the past 10 years. Our previous agencies were more ad hoc in their approach, which meant we didn't know what opportunities we were missing or how we could scale our account. Farsiight is structured and detail orientated, which has allowed us to achieve strong online growth and be more confident about our Google Ad strategy.

We partnered with Farsiight to provide a full digital overhaul of our current marketing strategy. The audit itself was incredibly comprehensive, unlike other agencies that often provide generic, surface-level audits, they carefully spent the time to understand our current operation and business goals. Throughout the audit we got the chance to meet a wide range of their passionate and enthusiastic team members from Ben & Josh as their founders to their specialists in each key department. We highly recommend Farsiight to any business looking to enhance their digital strategy and implement a plan for sustained, long-term growth.

FAQs

Who are farsiight?

After working agency side for many years, brothers Josh & Ben saw how the industry was broken. 

Inexperienced AMs. Agencies taking on any client (even if they weren't sure they could deliver results.) Slow response times. Stale strategies. Poor creatives. Constant excuses and clients being passed from pillar to post.

So they founded farsiight to fix it.  A partnership with farsiight gives you access to a cross-functional team of marketing specialists in digital strategy, media buying and performance creative. 

farsiight seamlessly integrates with in-house teams & creates cultural bonds that enable sustained success for your brand.

Expect integrity, ethics, accountability, and a relentless pursuit of growth from a team that puts long-term growth above short-lived tactics.

What's included in the Free Strategy Session?

We'll conduct a thorough audit of all your paid channels, providing insightful recommendations tailored to your business objective. Our audit includes a detailed analysis of your performance over the past year, allowing us to identify trends, assess budget allocation, and evaluate tracking and infrastructure setup. We'll dive into your overarching strategy, channel mix, and optimisation efforts, pinpointing opportunities for improvement along with their estimated impact, and offering additional comments for consideration.

If you're investing in paid social, we'll go the extra mile with a creative strategy audit. This involves analysing your competitors' activities, devising a creative testing framework, and providing insights into the performance of your creatives. We'll offer recommendations for new tests to enhance your creative strategy.

Once we’ve got a thorough understanding of the current state of play, we’ll switch our focus to strategising at a higher level. Our goal at farsiight is to make sure all channels are working cohesively together, and we’ll provide you with our thoughts on overall targets to ensure you’re meeting your profitability goals.

You can expect all these insights to be delivered to you in a comprehensive deck by our dedicated team at farsiight. Typically, the turnaround time for these strategies is 2-3 weeks, depending on the project scope and whether it involves multiple channels or not.

How is farsiight different from other agencies?

Our People, Mission, Methodology and Specialty in that order.

There’s no secret about it, we’ve got the best people in the business working here at farsiight. The fuel in the fire is our mission - Growth for Good.

Driven by this mission, our people are armed with a winning methodology for delivering our service which we call The Sustained Success OS.

Last but not least, we’re not a jack of all trades agency. We are specialist Performance Marketers & Creatives who live and breathe delivering sustained success for brands through performance marketing.

What is your team composition?

When you work with our Google Ads Agency in Melbourne, you'll have access to a dedicated team of performance experts organised into what we call 'pods'. 

Each pod is responsible for a specific group of accounts. There's a lead strategist who oversees the overall strategy, client communication and project management and two specialised media buyers focusing on Google Ads/PPC and Paid Social, and a creative strategist to ensure thorough campaign execution for Melbourne brands. 

How big is your team?

We are a team of 23 passonate performance experts, located in Brisbane, Adelaide, Mt Isa and Sunshine Coast. 

What is farsiight’s client qualification process?

During our new client due diligence we are looking to answer 3 critical questions which determine a good fit for Farsiight.

First, does your brand align with our mission: growth for good?

We’re emotionally and ethically invested in the success of the brands we represent. Those who set out to enrich and empower their audience get a big tick. Those willing to exploit them are politely shown the door.

Next, is there a strong cultural alignment between our teams?

We value Integrity, Humility, Passion, Growth & Balance. When these go both ways, the commercial and cultural outcomes are always better.

Finally, can we contribute to your success?

If we don’t see a clear opportunity to deliver strong, sustained growth, we won’t string you along, or take your money. It means we say no to more brands than we welcome onboard. That way, our energy and expertise goes where it can do most good, for our people and our partners.

Is farsiight a full-service marketing agency?

No. We are a specialist performance marketing and creative agency. We have a network of specialist agencies in disciplines like SEO & Email who we partner with to provide a complete offering.

How does the cost of Google Ads in Melbourne vary?

The cost of Google Ads in Melbourne varies depending on unique factors relating to the Melbourne market and beyond. 

Firstly, the competition in your industry can impact the cost, as highly competitive industries may have higher costs per click (CPC) due to increased bidding. 

Next is the quality score of your ads, which is determined by the relevance and quality of your keywords, ad copy, and landing pages, can influence the cost. There are instances where competitors in higher positions may be paying less due to having well structured and high performing campaigns. 

Your bidding strategy, whether manual or automated, can affect how much you pay for each click. Using auto-bidding strategies is more expensive than other options like manual bidding, due to the fact you're leveraging Google's Ads machine learning to make adjustments in real time for your Melbourne business.

Does farsiight have a specialty?

Yes. Our core specialty is Performance Marketing & Creative for online businesses. We have a wealth of experience across industries like eCommerce, SaaS, Marketplace, B2B, Finance, Education, Travel and others.

What happens after I book a call?

Our agency's Director, Ben Somerville, will personally reach out to find a time that best suits your schedule.

The purpose of the call is to best understand if farsiight will be the right fit for your business.

If both parties feel strongly there is potential in a partnership we’ll talk next steps from there.

Can I use Google Ads to target specific areas within Melbourne?
Yes, you can use Google Ads to target specific locations within Melbourne through the platform's location targeting capabilities found in the settings tab of your campaigns.

This Google Ads feature allows you to focus your advertising efforts on particular geographic locations within Melbourne, such as specific suburbs, regions, or countries. 

By doing so, you can reach potential customers in areas most relevant to your business in Melbourne. 

Also, Google Ads provides advanced targeting options, like setting a radius around a location or using custom location groups, to further refine your audience reach.
How does Google Ads bidding work?
Google Ads operates on a pay-per-click (PPC) model, where advertisers bid on keywords relevant to their target audience. When users search for those keywords in Melbourne, Google runs an auction to determine which ads appear on the search results page and in what order. The ads' placement is based on bid amount, ad quality, and relevance to the user's query.
What makes farsiight a specialist Google Ads Agency?
farsiight is a specialist Google Ads agency in Melbourne with a proven track record of success. We have managed over $14 million in Google Ad spending for our clients in the past 12 months alone, leveraging our 42 years of combined experience running Google Ads campaigns. Our strategic approach, open communication, and cutting-edge strategies ensure that every campaign is as profitable as possible, driving steady and sustainable growth for our Melbourne-based clients.
What is Quality Score in Google Ads?
Quality Score is a metric that Google Ads uses to evaluate the relevance and quality of your ads, keywords, and landing pages. It is a score from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, and is influenced by factors like expected click-through rate (CTR), ad relevance, and landing page experience. 
What is Google Demand Gen?
Google Demand Gen within Google Ads allows advertisers to reach potential customers as they browse their favourite Google Discover feeds, YouTube home feed, and Gmail Promotions and Social tabs. It allows us to showcase visually engaging ads to people actively exploring content related to their interests, and to your brand and offers.
